While Palin could temporarily appoint herself, there would still be a special election soon after

scarsborough is taking McCain to be the victim, not as a moderate republican that was a bad candidate. i hope it stays that way, that guy doesn't deserved to be trashed.

Man, I'm gonna have a shit load of right wing blog reading today.

From what I've seen, they haven't given him an ounce of credit for his victory. Not an ounce.

And I hope the GOP follows the general sentiment of these blogs, which is not wanting to learn a damn thing about this election. Apparently McCain wasn't enough to the right. Yeah, looking forward to this party finally going down the shitter.

For an example..

As has Cameron and Clegg (leader of the LibDems, the third major party here).

Both endorsements by Brown and Cameron will be shown o nthe late night news broadcasts, but PMQ's is always a good way for one side to get the upper hand over another. I imagine the first couple of minutes will be about Britain's new expected relationship with America.

Even that idiot Mayor endorsed him. The UK knew which way the wind was blowing. SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP!

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

congratulations USA,finally a good decision. Obama's going to face one hell of a test now, fixing some incredibly hard problems, but still better than having that old ass palooka with the possibility of that witch becoming president any day.

I raise my cup of coffee at you. Don't screw it up and don't disappoint, Barack.

Coleman/Franken is pretty much headed to an automatic manual recount either way, right?

Spare people pictures of hannity. What a sociopath the eyes and that stupid smirk make me wish karma comes back in a vicious way against him, but that's what tonight is for. I'm wondering who the gets canned at first at FNC for going over the line in the obama meltdown countdown.

Waking up on the brand new day, the feeling is indescribable. It's settling in, that yes we did, and the spirit of change and hope is palpable.

Biden was reelected in his old job, what will happen with that?

 

[PuppetSlave]

<Me> So, uh... Ted Stevens has been convicted of seven felones


<Alaska> Durrrrr.......... I think I'll vote for Stevens!

Wait, if he has been convicted he doesnt have the right to vote anymore but can get elected? Thats kinda fucked up. :lol (Or is it only in some states exconvicts are not allowed to vote? )

/totally ignorant

 

[Iksenpets]

Holy shit, WTF @ Alaska. Stevens actually won. That's it, Alaska is the new Florida.

Seriously, can we like expel them from the Union? Or provoke them into a civil war so we can reconstruct them or something? They clearly lack the capacity to vote.

Governor gets to appoint a replacement. Will probably be a seat warmer willing to step down after two years to let Beau Biden run when he gets back from Iraq.

 

[typhonsentra]

The governor (A democrat) will replace him. Had it gone to the Republican it would've been out of their control.

God, I've been at a seminar all day here in Japan. I heard during Lunch and woo we were all excited. Fuck yeah!

 

[KRS7]

Just did some quick calculations. As of 7:20 AM California and New York alone accounted for a little more than 58% of Obama's popular vote margin.

 

[eznark]

And none of Jefferson's primary opponents endorsed his opponent, knowing that she would lose, that he'd probably be convicted, that he'd then be removed from office, and they would then get another chance to run for the seat.

Embarrassing.

The more things change eh? Politics will always be politics.

On a different note, Minnesota has a mandatory 0.5% difference recount trigger right?

 

[Barrett2]

We'll keep the Aleutian Islands, like how we kept Guantanamo from the Cubans.

--“NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family—clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent ‘tens of thousands’ more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide … said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.”

--“McCain himself rarely spoke to Palin during the campaign, and aides kept him in the dark about the details of her spending on clothes because they were sure he would be offended. Palin asked to speak along with McCain at his Arizona concession speech Tuesday night, but campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request.”

Welcome to the dawn of real, viable social democracy in the USA. Congratulations, american people, and may you have a great, memorable term, Barack Obama.

I'd like to remind the forum, for the record, that Obama ended up taking Indiana, like I predicted. My vote counted afterall and I'm glad to say I told you so.

The FreeRepublic "Official Election Hangover Thread" is great reading this morning.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2125694/posts

Some of the gems..

America has been raped, thanks to a practically illiterate electorate.

We have a lot to thank GWB for.

He needs to abdicate early, take the RINOs with him and let our newly-elected master take the over the reins of a nation that once experimented with democracy.

With Obama in there will be no drilling for new oil, no missile defense system, abortion mills popping up like porno shops in our once polite cities and every day of his rule will seem like a drab, black and white day. The immigration from Somalia, Nigeria, Haiti, etc. will crowd our muslim cities and there will be no safe street to stroll.

We have been sold out.

Well, this nasty turn of events will go a long way to reviving the militia movement.

Yep, last night my weapons went way up the list of my prized posessions.

Now we get to teach sex education to kindergartners..
Every pervert out there will be applying for a job.

I slept fitfully; got a heartbreaking call from my 18 year old college daughter wanting to know if she should pack her bag and come home now, since my taxes might go too high to keep her in college.

There's also a gem involving how Palin stages her national comeback in 2012, but it's too long to quote. Great stuff - chicken soup for the liberal's soul!

Obama is no such thing. And in foreign policy he is actually quite hawkish so best be prepared for only some cosmetic changes.

Actually waht happened to Dafur. I don't remember it coming up as an issue during the campaigns. What's Obama's position on it?

(just added Obama to my spellchecker dictionary )

A lot's being thrown around about Palin appointing someone to Stevens's seat if he leaves. She could possibly appoint someone, although there appears to be a state constitutional issue over it, but it'd only be for 90 days until a special election.

That would be pretty damned ironic since Stevens helped write that constitution. :lol

Concession speeches have no place for a VP candidate. I don't think so anyway? She was just grasping for more spotlight. I'm surprised McCain even had such nice thing to say about her.


She was running for a new kind of VP though, the one that runs the senate, so maybe they get to do things differently...

About Palin's clothes... What does everyone expect, her to make a run to Goody's or JC Penney for clothes? 150k is a lot of money, but its a presidential election, she needs good clothes. Look at Obama's 600 million spent on the election so far.

No, I think it was a private conversation she asked for, and she was flat out denied.

It seems as if those two didn't even talk to each other during the campaign at all. No wonder she was considered "rogue", there was little to no communication going on between both camps. An utter disaster.

150,000. On. Clothes.
